Alexandria, MD man charged with arson and insurance fraud to his vehicle

Deputy State Fire Marshals have charged Jose Nectali Mejia Pineda (24) for his involvement with intentionally burning his 2009 Acura TL on January 22, 2013. The vehicle was parked in the cul de sac of Cedarwood Lane in Dunkirk, Calvert County and subsequently set on fire with the use of a liquid accelerant at approximately 2:30 a.m. Investigators determined that both Pineda and his girlfriend, Nancy Urrutia (21) were responsible for setting the car on fire. Urrutia was charged with the incident in February. Pineda fled to Honduras and recently returned to the United States on August 27, 2013, to Dulles International Airport. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers detained Pineda on an arrest warrant upon his arrival and transported him to the Loudon County Detention Center in Leesburg, Virginia.
